Tarzan's Swinging onto the PS2 (Facts & Screens)

Tarzan and his family’s happy jungle existence are threatened by the appearance of Oswald Gardner, a mad Victorian scientist. Aided by vicious hunter Julius Wolff, Gardner hopes to capture and study apes using cruel, arcane methods. The discovery of Tarzan and Jane inspires Gardner, and he becomes obsessed with their capture for exhibition and study.

The story begins where the film ended. Tarzan lives happily with Jane, Porter and his ape friends, when intruders invade the jungle. A mad Victorian scientist, Oswald Gardner, aided by vicious hunter Julius Wolff, hopes to capture and study apes using cruel, arcane methods. But when he discovers the existence of Tarzan, he becomes obsessed with his capture for exhibition and study. To get his hands on him, he progressively captures all his friends: baby apes, Tantor, even Jane! To save them all, Tarzan will have to challenge the wild jungle: he will splash down onto the rapids with his surfboard to rescue Terk, fly through the air down towards the water to find Tantor, challenge Gardner’s hunters and other nefarious animals to free Jane, explore the jungle and its caverns to release baby apes.

Fortunately, Tarzan will be helped in his quest by Gardner’s carelessness. By collecting film reels the scientist forgot, Tarzan will be able to track down Gardner and his hunters and free Jane and his friends.

Description

Disney’s Tarzan is a fast paced action game. As Tarzan, you will perform various adrenaline-pumping actions, ride rivers through the jungle, slide on branches… Always avoiding the numerous obstacles that compose the wild and lively jungle.

Extreme breath taking game play
Through 15 levels, game-play is based on rhythm and fast paced motion. The raft, bungee, the water-ski, the surf, the tree-slide, the 360° slide… give a real feeling of rapidity and provide a sensational play experience.
- 50% of the game is general motion = walk, jump, run, spear attack… But most of the general motion game-play exploits Tarzan’s extreme abilities : Vine swing, Wall / tree climb, Tree slide, Ground slide, 360° slide…
- The other 50% of the game is extreme pure action : Water ski, Raft, Bungee jump…Bungee jump is a bonus level you find at the end of each World, when Tarzan collected all baby Apes of the level.

Intense play experience
Being Tarzan, you can perform a large number of basic moves and trick moves.
- Sliding / General motion : Handstand slide, Reverse Tree slide (backwards) , Somersault vine release, Ground tumble…
- Rafting : 360°spin, Kick Flip, Corkscrew (vertical flip)…
- Waterski : Reverse Ski, Tumble turn, forward flip, Scarecrow…
To maximise your sensations while sliding in the trees, a “smart control system” allows you to run along narrow branches with ease = it acts as a magnet under the branches, so that to stay on, you have to follow roughly the correct direction, and you can then increase your speed for greater sliding sensations!

Immersive fascinating jungle
Immerse totally in the wild environment of the jungle through graphics, special effects (light reflecting in the water, mud particules splashing when Tarzan surfes on branches, flower and leaves moving in the background…), high quality textures, sound quality…thanks to the possibilities of the PS2!
You have 3 amazing Worlds to explore :
- The dense and happy Jungle, the dank and muggy Swamps, the dark and ominous caves that lead to the Elephant Graveyard.
